  • Maine Crash Manual, 7/2010
    Produced and Distributed by: Maine Department of Public Safety Maine State Police Traffic Safety Unit 36 Hospital Street Augusta, Maine 04333 Telephone (207) 624-8939 Fax (207) 624-8945 www.informe.org/mcrs Revised August 2010 Forward In 2003, with the implementation of the Maine Crash Reporting System (MCRS), Maine became the first state in the Nation to collect all crash data from investigating police departments electronically with no data entry. Maine was able to improve the timeliness and accuracy of crash data being submitted to the state database. In 2006 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted an assessment of Maine’s traffic records. The purpose of the assessment was to determine whether Maine’s traffic records system is capable of supporting management’s needs to identify the state’s safety problems, to manage the countermeasures applied to reducing or eliminating those problems, and to evaluate those programs for their effectiveness. At the same time Maine Legislature mandated the addition of data fields on the crash form to collect more detailed data regarding “Distracted Drivers.” As a result of the NHTSA assessment and Legislative mandates, Maine’s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC) felt it was time to review our crash form for improvements and increased compliance with the Minimum Model Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC), as there has not been a major change in structure in approximately fifteen years. Even though the crash report system was moved to an electronic format seven years ago, the actual form and content were not significantly changed. Maine’s TRCC tasked a committee to review the crash report form and make recommendations for changes aimed at improving crash data collection processes, quality, accuracy, timeliness, MMUCC compliance and data sharing capabilities of users.

  • Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Types of the Early 1990'S
    1//-,11//1/,1/1/1,//1/1// II/ f1/1 Pedestrian and Bicycle "_.- 'y~96.-:~883}_9 Crash Types of the Early 1990's Publication No. FHWA-RD·95·163 June 1996 Research and Development Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center u.s. Department of Transportation 6300 Georgetown Pike Federal Highway Administration REPRODUCED BY: ,- I!]'§ --- Mclean, Virginia 221 01·229~ .u.s. Deplll'tment ot Commerce - National TechnlcaJ Information Service c Spnngfield, Virginia 22161 FOREWORD Pedestrians and bicyclists comprise more than 14 percent ofall highway fatalities each year. In some large urban areas, pedestrians account for 50 percent oftraffic fatalities. Estimates for 1994 indicate that 150,000 pedestrians and bicyclists were injured in traffic crashes, and many injuries are not reported to recordkeeping authorities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) developed a system of "typing" pedestrian and bicyclists crashes, defined by specific sequences ofevents. Each crash type has precipitating actions, predisposing factors, and characteristic populations and/or locations that can be targeted for intervention. The research documented in this report is the result ofthe application ofNHTSA's crash typology to a sample of5,000 pedestrian and 3,000 bicycle-motor vehicle crashes from five states with the purpose of refining and updating the crash type distributions. Particular attention was given to roadway and locational factors in order to identify situations where engineering and/or educational or regulatory countermeasures might be effectively implemented to reduce the frequency ofthe crashes. The information contained in this report should be of interest to State and local bicycle and pedestrian coordinators, transportation planners, and transportation engineers involved in safety and risk management.
